• Rape and statutory rape
• Indecent exposure
• Sexual assault or battery
• Child pornography charges
• Prostitution and solicitation

These offenses can be charged as felonies or misdemeanors, depending on the severity of the conduct. However, even misdemeanor sex offenses are treated harshly in North Carolina, making legal guidance indispensable.

Depending on the specific charges, you could be facing years in prison, large fines, mandatory sex offender registration and additional life-altering consequences.

There are several potential defenses against sex crime allegations in North Carolina. Examples include:

• False accusation: Arguing the claims were fabricated by the accuser
